Day 1
Welcome to Syros right at the heart of Cyclades. We are equally excited and looking forward to spending an unforgeable sailing week together around the hidden gems of the Greek islands.
Arriving at the beautiful Finikas Marina where our trip starts, you can drop your luggage at the boat and enjoy a splash in the nearby crystal clear water or a tasteful lunch right in front of the marina, awaiting the check-in time, which is at 13:30 at the all-day restaurant Baobab right in front of the marina . Everyone is on board and after a short briefing we sail out to Paros island. Our first overnight takes place in the beautiful bay of Naousa on an anchorage or docked at the port. We enjoy the local cuisine for our dinner at the little local port village.
Day 2
Taking advantage of the morning wind we sail after breakfast to Iraklia island. A population of approximately 80 people during the winter, kept this little paradise off the beaten tack of mainstream tourism. Enjoy a really picturesque place. Relaxing on the beach, having drinks with view to the boat, walking at the top of the hill for the sunset. The team will gather for an unforgettable dinner in a family tavern, experiencing the Greek hospitality and approachability.

way to start your day. Today we will be sailing to the third special member

No doubt you could literally spend days and days to explore.
